r/brazilianwax

I’ve been consistently waxing since December without shaving in between sessions and I’ve tried to give my hair cycles enough time to be in sync but it seems like no matter how long I wait my hair starts growing back a few days after my Brazilian. The whole appeal to me of a Brazilian is that I be bald / hair free for a couple weeks but this never seems to be the case. Should I give up and go back to shaving or do I need to give it more time?

Got waxed yesterday afternoon, and the crazy itching kicked in within just a few hours. This is the second time it’s happened, same thing last month, and it went on for a full week. I thought it was just a weird one-off before, but now I’m seriously wondering if I’m allergic to the wax or whatever product they’re using. I’ve already tried aloe vera gel, hydrocortisone, and witch hazel, but none of them give more than very short-term relief. Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!
